Board games have always offered a mix of togetherness, interactivity, and competition among friends and family. These factors have kept board games alive amidst the rise and constant improvement of video games. They’ve even entwined themselves in the video game industry and Dead by Daylight is getting its own shot off the screen and on the table. We’re here with a list of awesome things you should know about this upcoming adaptation. 10. Gameplay & Goals The board game adaptation of the popular multiplayer survival-horror video game, in which one player’s killer stalks the others’ survivors as they attempt to restart a series of generators and escape, is in the works from Level 99 Games. The tabletop publisher has previously brought indie video game Shovel Knight and arcade fighter Street Fighter to its card fighting series Exceed. Level 99 confirmed to Dicebreaker that no licensed characters will make an appearance in the board game; the video game has seen the inclusion of figures from movies such as Halloween’s Michael Myers and A Nightmare on Elm Street’s Freddy Kreuger, as well as video games in the form of Silent Hill’s Pyramid Head and Resident Evil’s Jill, Claire, Leon and Chris.

Perks are a hotly debated topic in the video game as they can easily make or break matches against specific Killers regardless of their respective powers. Whether perks will impact the board game as deeply is yet to be seen. Each Killer and Survivor has a standard loadout of 3 perks. You can also use the cards included in the game to customize your build, opening the door to all kinds of new strategies. As fans of the original video game, we worked hard to capture the tension between the Survivors and the Killer on every turn,” says D. Brad Talton Jr, the designer behind the game. “The moment when you commit to your move and then have to hold your breath while the Killer makes their play—to me that’s the essence of Dead by Daylight.” The hit asymmetric survival horror game comes to tabletop! Take on the role of a ruthless Killer or a resourceful Survivor as you navigate sinister trials. This is a fanmade version of the Dead By Daylight Board Game, developed by Level 99 Games and designed by David B. Talton Jr.

We had originally planned a few more [maps],” Talton revealed. “But ultimately we felt like it was better to do a smaller number of maps that players can be familiar with. Because the killers and the survivors you choose are where most of the variety in the game comes from.” Special editions of any type of game are usually highly coveted thanks to their additional content and appealing exclusive visuals or collectibles. Dead by Daylight: The Board Game offers a Collector’s Edition that vastly expands on the base game’s character roster, map collection, cards, dice, and even the figurines. Asked whether Dead by Daylight: The Board Game could see future expansions that bring characters released for the video game since the All-Kill DLC to its tabletop counterpart, Talton left the possibility open. Unlike the video game, the survivors win or lose together,” Talton said. “We experimented with that a lot - about giving them separate win-loss conditions. But for various reasons, we decided that it had to be a shared victory for the survivors. Because with the video game, you have a lot of meta conditions even when you die as a survivor. You have a lot of incentives; you can make progress in the archives, you can make progress in your own personal daily routine, you get a lot of blood points. There's a lot of flavours of victory in the video game. In the board game, you win or you lose.” I love the mind games on both sides trying to work out what everyone is gonna do and set your movement accordingly before seeing how everyone moves. Seeing the survivors stop in a space you've targetted and holding your poker face while they foolishly decide to try to work on the gen, before your devilish reveal of just how screwed they are. 😈🤘

The survivors each take their turn before the killer, who must anticipate the survivors’ movements but has a greater number of movement actions to make up for chasing the bigger group. Both survivors and killers must play a movement card on their turn. The base version comes with a total of 7 Survivor miniature figurines and board cards, 6 Killer miniature figurines and board cards, 4 wound indicator rings, two maps, 89 cards, and all of the available tokens.

3. How exactly do you win?

Today we're showing off the rulebook for Dead by Daylight™: The Board Game! Come and see how the game is played. Re-playability is a must-have asset to any game and board games are no exception. The Dead By Daylight board game once again manages to take a part of the video game’s excellent variations from match to match and make it work on the table-top. As mentioned above, there are 24 perks for Survivors and 24 perks for Killers. Certain perks are dependent on a particular Survivor or Killer. Altruism Props are pallets and crows. These are useful to the Survivors as a team, and strategic use of these resources is critical to their victory.
